Summary Area of looser soil surrounded by rock walls/boundaries in new SW estension area of trench- east side of SW extention

Dry sieve
Date Excavated 2008-06-05
Min Elevation 55.49
Max Elevation 55.64
Description Area of more somewhat looser (cf. to rest of trench at this level) soil, bounded by rocks on 2 sides and scarp wall on other 2 sides -- East side of trench. Made this a separate SU from rest of trench. Uncovered rounded gypsum fragment in SW corner of SU. NS wall revealed and defined large cut block near gypsum.

This soil is different than the soil immediately west (52 08) of N-S stone that cuts across the SW extension. Its looseness and softness suggests that it is a later (more recent) digging into the soil matrix of 5208. This is a hypothesis anyway.
